KYIV, Feb 1 – The new alliance Ukraine-Poland-U.K. is an association of countries that share common principles, strive to strengthen security and develop trade, and are ready for concrete actions, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said.

"The new format is not tied to local geography. It is an association of countries that share common principles, strive to strengthen security and develop trade, and are ready for concrete actions. Warsaw, Kyiv and London have not only a realistic awareness of security threats to Europe and a strategy to counter challenges from the Russian Federation, but also the great potential of trilateral cooperation in the fields of trade, investment, energy, including renewable energy. By connecting the Atlantic, the Baltic and the Black Sea with our efforts, we are creating new opportunities for our countries and the region as a whole," Kuleba wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
